At the age of eighteen, Milly marries Allan - who has a gay lover named Rupert. Thinking she's done the two of them a favor so Allan can stay in the country, and thinking that Allan will divorce her soon -which he never does, she moves on with her own life.
Ten years later Milly is now engaged to the wealthy Simon Pinnacle. What happens next is typical Madeleine Wickham, AKA Sophie Kinsella style - Chaos, turmoil, and lies.
You can guess the ending as it's just about the same in all her books, at least the ones I've read. Another easy read with no big surprises or twists. I found it a little boring coming off one of Sophie Kinsella's other books called "Remember Me". I'll go back to my mysteries for a while and see if her next book is a little more interesting.
